Abstract

3, 3-Bis (8-quinolyloxymethyl) oxetane, which has been newly synthesized as a carrier in the cation transport through liquid membranes, exhibits extremely high Li+-selectivity. From the investigation of structural effect, introduction of 8-quinolyl terminal group, oxetane ring, and trimethylene chain to the structure of carrier is suggested to be important for excellent Li+- selectivity.
